Feast or Famine

Amos 8:11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it.

Yes, try to have communion with God without the body and blood of Christ, and it’s not going to happen—we will be fasting or feeding on stuff that is not life sustaining or enriching. Can’t ignore Jesus and think God will nourish us with our daily bread. Man can not live by bread alone, but he has absolutely no life without the Bread of heaven. John 6:32-33

This also makes me think that God will withhold His Word and blessing from those who are less than grateful or downright antagonistic to His presence, His authority, and His truth.
